Thanks a lot for these fotos!

Thanks for the pics everyone!!

I don't like the outfit of Queen Beatrix. It's simply horrible, IMO. By opposite, I love the pink dress of Máxima. I think she's perfect for the occasion. Shoes, hat, earings and make-up: all perfect!

Does anyone know what time the gala will start?? (Dutch time)

Tonight at 2.00 ( Dutch time) will start the Gala

Queen Beatrix outfit is not that bad. And the pink dress looks very good on Maxima, but i just don't like the hat!!

CP Maxima looks stunning! I'm wondering if Maxima address in Spanish to the President and her wife? or does the protocolo maybe says eventhough she speaks the language she needs to speak Dutch? Anyone knows?

I think she won't speak Dutch with the President of Argentina. Probably they will speak in English, and maybe spanish in private. This is just my opinion, I don't know how it will be for sure, maybe someone does.

Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and Argentine-born Princess Maxima leave Argentina's Banco Nacion after visiting a human rights exhibition of the Anne Frank Foundation in Buenos Aires March 30, 2006.

Dutch public television news was very negative about the visit.
1) bad timing, as this week Argentina is commemorating the victims of the Videla regime
2) The president didn't want them there in the first place, but his predecessor invited the Queen. He is to busy with other things and won't attend tomorrows ballet.
3) To little attention for the mothers of the Plaza de Mayo
4) Bad publicity in the Argentinian press about Jorge Zorreguietta
etc.
